The way he said caterpillar made my heart jump for joy. After picking one up and letting it crawl on me he agreed to hold his first bug. The looks on his face told a thousand stories. Fear, bravery, intrigue, curiosity and awe for some of the other occupiers of the planet. When told how these creatures would soon go to sleep and wake up as butterflies it only deepened his intense examination of his first bug hold. He has a toy magnifying glass and he tickle himself with close up examination, all the while making grandmas old body tingle in love with sharing this time with my little man.
